New York, July 23. Russell Sago died suddenly nt his country homo, "Cednrcroft," at Lawrence, L. I. The immediate cause of death was heart failure, resulting from n complication of diseases incident to old ngo. Tho veteran financier would have celebrat ed hlB ninetieth birthday on Aug. 4. Mr. Sago had been In exceptionally good health since his arrival at hla summer home, about six months ago. At noon he was seized with a sinking spell and collapsed, falling Into un consciousness about two hours before his death. There were present at the end Mrs. Sage, her brother, Colonel J. J. Slocum; tho Rev. Dr. Robert Lcctch, Dr. Theodore S. Janeway of New York, Dr. J. Carl Schmuck, a local physician, and Dr. John P. Mr.tin, for many years Mr. Sage's family physician, who was summoned from Now York when the first alarming symptoms were munlfpat.

Tho Interment will take place In Troy on Thursday. Mrs. Sage and her brother, Colonel Slocum, are named as the executors of Mr. Sage's will. It Is generally believed that Mr. Sago's vast Interests will not be se riously nh'ected by his death. ' Sketch of His Career. Russell Sage, multi-millionaire and nestor of American financiers, was born on Aug. 4, 18115, in Verona Oneida county, N. Y., where his pa rents, Fllsha and Petr'enco Sage, members of a little company of pio neers from Connecticut, hnd halted while on their westward march In quest of a homestead. At the ago of twelve years, Russell began his ca reer as Jin errand boy In the grocery store of his brother, Henry, In Troy. At the age of twenty-two he establish ed a wholesale grocery of his own in that place. In 1S.17 tho young mer chant had acquired a fortune esti mated at half a million dollars, a vast amount lor those days, and deter mined to retire from active business life, lie had, however, already be come interested in railroads, his first transaction of this character being a loan to tho LaCrossc Railroad com pany, which led to further transac tions, resulting In his acquiring largo interests in the ronds now forming tlio Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul sys tem, of which ho became vice presi dent. This determined Mr. Sage to devote his future energies to opera tions In Wall street, nnd In 18G3' ho opened his first office In Now York. About this time he formed an asso ciation with Jay Gould, which contin ued for many years. About 1872 Mr. Sage originated tho system of trading in "puts," "cnlls" and "straddles," In which he continued to deal thereafter on a colossal scale. Whllo he pur chased a seat on the New York Stock exchange In 1874, It Is believed that he never appeared on the floor of tho exchange. Only once, It is said, did Mr. Sago experience a tremendous reverse, which would hnve crushed most men, but from which ho emerged with courage and confidence unshaken. This was on tho memorable day In 1881, when tho great failure of Grant & Ward was announced, resulting In the loss to Mr. Sage of about $0,000. 000 on a long line of "puts." A the time of his death, Mr. Sago was an officer and director In twenty five great railway and telegraph cor porations. An Inclitent which startled tho whole country occurred In Mr. Snge's i office, In the old Arcade building, 71 Broadway, on Dec. 4, 1891. On that day ho was visited by Henry P. Nor cross of Boston, a mnn of unbalanced mind, who demanded an lmmedlato gift or $1,200,000. When the demand was refused Norcross dropped a dyna mite bomb upon the floor, the explo sion of which decapitated Norcross, killed ono of tho clerks and wrecked the whole office. Mr. Sage was only slIgMly hurt by tho explosion. , Mr. Sago was married twlco, first in IS 11 to Miss Maya Whine, daughter of Moses I. Wlnno or Troy. Ills wlfo Jled In New York city In 1SG7, nnd two years later ho married Margaret Olivia, daughter of Joseph Slocum of Syracuse. Steamer Runs Down Tug. Vancouver, B. C, July 23.
